NAME
sge - Silicon Integrated Systems SiS190/191 Fast/Gigabit Ethernet driverSYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:device miibus device sge
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf5:
if_sge_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The ifconfig device driver provides support for SiS190 Fast Ethernet controllers and SiS191 Fast/Gigabit Ethernet controllers.All LOMs supported by the ifconfig driver have TCP/UDP/IP checksum offload for transmit and receive, TCP segmentation offload (TSO), hardware VLAN tag stripping/insertion features. Due to lack of documentation Wake On Lan (WOL), Jumbo frame and an interrupt moderation mechanism are not supported yet.
The ifconfig driver supports the following media types:
- autoselect
- Enable autoselection of the media type and options. The user can manually override the autoselected mode by adding media options to rc.conf5.
- 10baseT/UTP
- Set 10Mbps operation.
- 100baseTX
- Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
- 1000baseTX
- Set 1000baseTX operation over twisted pair.
The ifconfig driver supports the following media options:
- full-duplex
- Force full duplex operation.
- half-duplex
- Force half duplex operation.
For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
HARDWARE
The ifconfig device driver provides support for the following Ethernet controllers:
- SiS190 Fast Ethernet controller
- SiS191 Fast/Gigabit Ethernet controller
